Answer:

The number of solutions is one

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the number of solutions

since the linear equations are not the same, neither do they have the same x-variable, we can have only one solution

Tanya took a cab from her home to the airport. Her total fare including a tip of $5.00, was $28.50. EZ Cab Company has a pick-up

ValentinkaMS [17]

16.2 miles.

Since she paid a $5 tip, the cost for her fare was $23.50. Let x be the number of 0.2-mile increments in the trip:
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25(x-1)

This equation comes from the 2.50 home pick-up fee; $1 for the first 0.2-mile increment; and 0.25 for each other 0.2-mile increment.

Using the distributive property, we have:
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25*x - 0.25*1
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25x - 0.25

Combining like terms,
23.50 = 0.25x + 2.75

Subtracting 2.75 from both sides, we have:
23.50 - 2.75 = 0.25x + 2.75 - 2.75
20.25 = 0.25x

Dividing both sides by 0.25, we have:
20.25/0.25 = 0.25x/0.25
81 = x

This means there are 81 0.2-mile increments in her trip. 81(0.2) = 16.2 miles

How do you divide a whole number by a decimal? Example 9.00 divided by 6.75

sammy [17]

Answer to the example is 1.3 repeating

Step-by-step explanation:

The number we divide by is called the divisor. To divide decimal numbers: Multiply the divisor by as many 10's as necessary until we get a whole number. Remember to multiply the dividend by the same number of 10's.
